Government Oversight

To advance its legislative agenda, the Judiciary Committee conducts regular oversight of the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, among other government agencies.  The Committee is also responsible for determining whether to recommend articles of impeachment against federal officials.  In 2019, the Committee advanced two articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump to the House of Representatives.
